Steve, there is no way to verify a packet of data is infringing. None. The best that could be hoped for is that you could match it against a known version and say there is a match. And that falls to pieces if the result is encrypted. And there is no way to stop people from encrypting.
I have in my hand right now two SD chips, one, a 32GB micro SD chip, and a full size 128GB SD chip. I could mail either one to anybody, full of data. 32GB is 40+ hours of FLAC music, 30,000+ e-books (@ 1 megabyte per e-book) or maybe 4 DVD's.
Am I doing that? Absolutely not! But it can't be stopped, short of living in a totalitarian state.

Back to entitlements. Whose entitlement? You seem to be just as arrogantly entitled to making everybody follow your rules as the archtypical "data wants to be free" pirate. To me, I don't see the entitlement difference. Different details, same entitlement attitude....
